What is an interaction effect in Multiple Linear Regression?
- A combined effect of two variables
- Linear relationship between variables
- Model optimization
- Removing irrelevant features
An interaction effect occurs when the effect of one variable on the dependent variable depends on the level of another variable. It shows the combined effect.
How can you assess the accuracy and reliability of a regression model's predictions?
- Through classification metrics
- Through clustering metrics
- Through regression metrics like RMSE, R-Squared, MAE
- Through text analysis
The accuracy and reliability of a regression model's predictions can be assessed through regression metrics like Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), R-Squared, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), etc. These metrics provide quantitative measures of how well the model's predictions align with the actual values, considering both the direction and magnitude of errors.
Differentiate between feature selection and feature extraction in the context of dimensionality reduction.
- Both are the same
- Depends on the data
- Feature selection picks, extraction transforms
- Feature selection transforms, extraction picks
Feature selection involves picking a subset of the original features, whereas feature extraction involves transforming the original features into a new set. Feature extraction usually leads to new features that are combinations of the original ones, while feature selection maintains the original features but reduces their number.
Your task is to detect fraudulent activities in financial transactions. What would be the considerations in choosing between AI, Machine Learning, or Deep Learning for this task?
- AI, for its expert systems
- Deep Learning, for its complex pattern recognition
- Machine Learning, for its ability to learn from historical data
- nan
Machine Learning can be trained on historical data to detect patterns indicative of fraudulent activities, making it a suitable choice for this task.
Your Logistic Regression model is suffering from separation, causing some estimated Odds Ratios to be extremely large. How could you handle this issue?
- By adding more variables
- By applying regularization techniques
- By increasing the size of the dataset
- By removing all predictors
Separation in Logistic Regression can lead to overly large coefficient estimates. Applying regularization techniques, such as Ridge or Lasso, can help in constraining the coefficient estimates and mitigate this issue.
In which type of Machine Learning does the model learn from labeled data?
- Reinforcement Learning
- Semi-Supervised Learning
- Supervised Learning
- Unsupervised Learning
Supervised Learning involves training a model on a labeled dataset, meaning the desired output for each input is known. The model learns to predict the output from the input data.
If there is a concern about the importance of closer neighbors versus further neighbors in KNN, implementing __________ can be a solution to give varying importance based on distance.
- distance weighting
- equal weighting
- random weighting
- uniform weighting
Implementing distance weighting in KNN gives varying importance based on distance, assigning more weight to closer neighbors.
How does Machine Learning play a role in enhancing personalized education systems?
- Autonomous Driving
- Fraud Detection
- Personalized Learning Paths
- Weather Prediction
Machine Learning enhances personalized education systems by adapting learning paths to individual student needs, analyzing performance, and providing targeted resources or exercises.
How do AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning differ in terms of data volume and data quality requirements?
- AI requires least data, followed by Machine Learning and Deep Learning
- AI requires most data, followed by Machine Learning and Deep Learning
- Deep Learning requires most data, Machine Learning less, and AI least
- Machine Learning requires most data, followed by AI and Deep Learning
Deep Learning usually requires the most data to train effectively, followed by Machine Learning, with AI generally requiring the least (since AI includes non-learning methods).
In what situations would ElasticNet be preferred over Ridge or Lasso?
- When all features are equally important
- When features are uncorrelated
- When model complexity is not a concern
- When multicollinearity is high
ElasticNet is preferred when there's multicollinearity and you want to balance between Ridge and Lasso, as it combines the properties of both.
